Meet the Owner: Ellen MacDonald

Hi there! My name is Ellen MacDonald and I’m the owner of NumberWorks’nWords Kilbirnie. My journey with NumberWorks’nWords started in 2010 when I was an English tutor in Rotorua during my senior high school years. It continued through my university years in Wellington where I managed the Lower Hutt centre for several years before becoming an owner here in Kilbirnie! I’m trained as a Primary school teacher and have a passion for creating “lightbulb moments” for students where something that was previously difficult or out of reach becomes clear.

One of my goals is to foster a love of learning for my students so that they can be lifelong learners. When I’m not in the centre I’m usually curled up with a book, at the gym lifting weights or with my husband visiting our family up and down the motu. I’m always keen to talk about how I can help your child reach their full potential so please reach out!

We needed help with Maths for our 9-year-old. Fergus and his team quickly identified the areas that required more support and provided a well-structured plan to improve her understanding, raise up her proficiency and increase her confidence in the subject. It's a great environment for young learners to get excited about Maths and to get the dedicated attention they need to reach their potential. Highly recommend!

The proof of NumberWords'nWorks efficacy is in the results our son was able to achieve in NCEA which he previously wasn’t achieving with only his school’s teaching. NumberWords'nWorks has boosted our son’s confidence hugely and we are grateful to see him enjoying maths again.
